"Jiang Huan. In the imperial garden, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the koi in the river with a smile, his voice was gentle, and he was obviously in a good mood.

"The minister is here. Jiang Huan knelt on the ground and replied respectfully.

"Things are well done. Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head, looked at Jiang Huan on the ground, and waved his hand, "Get up and speak." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Jiang Huan first kowtowed, and then stood up from the ground.

"I have already read the book you handed over," Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly, "The direction is still right, first catch and then fight, and finally draw a picture of the charge, and light up the evidence outside." It would be nice if you understood what I meant. ”

"The minister is stupid, but he does his best. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly: "Did you ask you to bring the list?"

"Back to Your Majesty's words, bring it" Jiang Huan pulled it into his left sleeve and took out a small fold with a blue cover. Zhu Yuanzhang took the fold and opened it to take a look, and the top was densely packed with names, starting from the blue jade, all of them were the names of the noble generals of the court.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked very carefully and seriously, he read each name in his heart, thinking about their good, thinking about their mistakes, and even more thinking about 。。。。。 They must die.

"Maybe Xu Ruyi is right," Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking, "I must always leave some seeds for the army." The figure of his fourth son, Zhu Di, flashed in his mind.

After thinking about it again and again, Zhu Yuanzhang put the index finger of his right hand in his mouth and licked it, and then poked lightly at the names of several people, and a small hole was suddenly poked in the names of several people.

"Your Majesty, this is... Jiang Huan didn't quite understand, did Zhu Yuanzhang want him to take care of these people?

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him, pondered for a moment, and poked a few more times on the fold, before looking at Jiang Huan.

"Hmph" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, closed the fold, threw it to Jiang Huan, and said in his mouth, "Don't move these people, there is still a need to keep them in the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Obey the order" Jiang Huan kowtowed on the ground and agreed. Since the emperor doesn't want to kill them all, then he is honest and obedient.

opened the fold easily, and saw that there were about a dozen names pardoned by Zhu Yuanzhang, which was really insignificant for the list of hundreds of people he listed. Looking closely, I saw that the main people who were pardoned were: Wu Yinghou Guo Ying, Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen, Xinguo Gong Tang He, Zhu Yuanzhang Yizi Ping'an, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, and several young generals.

"The emperor only left Guo Ying and Geng Bingwen among the elders and nobles, and most of the others are young people, what does the emperor mean by this?" Jiang Huan thought to himself, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't get the point.

There are generally two ways to do errands for the emperor, one is to strictly follow the emperor's requirements and complete them meticulously. This approach is not easy to shine or make mistakes, which can be regarded as decent.

The second way is to figure out what the intention is, people always make mistakes, and the emperor is the same, it is inevitable that there will be some omissions. If you can understand the emperor's original intention when doing things below, then it will be easy to get the holy favor.

For example, this time Zhu Yuanzhang wants to take out some people from the list, if Jiang Huan can understand the reason for these people's lives, then he may be able to save a few more people who may be Zhu Yuanzhang's negligence, so it is a favor from top to bottom. If An does things according to the first method, in case Zhu Yuanzhang finds out that a few people were killed by mistake in the future, then he Jiang Huanke will be unlucky, after all, the emperor can't be wrong.

"Well, no, go back to that kid and ask again, his brain is always better than what Lao Tzu thinks alone." Jiang Huan thought about this, Zhu Yuanzhang above saw it in his eyes, and nodded secretly, "I can use my brain, and I finally have a little bit of growth." ’

Jiang Huan was originally just a lieutenant in the Jinyi pro-army, responsible for protecting Zhu Yuanzhang's safety outside. Jiang Huan's mind is average, and he can only barely be regarded as a middle-class person. Zhu Yuanzhang's promotion of him as this commander was entirely based on his loyalty, and his status was low, and if he was killed in the future, it would have no other impact.

At the gate outside the palace, a roll of yellow dust rolls and horses gallop. The guards at the city gate did not dare to stop them, but hurriedly dodged to the side. There was no other reason, and the rider immediately held a gold medal in his hand, and shouted in his mouth, "Eight hundred miles of urgency!

The rider's words were definitely not a joke, and if anyone dared to stop him, even if he could survive the collision of the horse, the rider would draw his sword and cut him. And you don't have to pay for your life.

The soldiers defending the city waved their hands to disperse the smoke and dust, looked at the back of the rider in the distance, and wondered in their hearts, "What is going on here?"

There are only Zhu Yuanzhang, Jiang Huan, and the eunuch Lao Zhang in the imperial garden, after all, if the matter that Zhu Yuanzhang wants to discuss with Jiang Huan is leaked, the consequences will be unimaginable. At this time, Lao Zhang saw a small yellow door at the moon gate at the entrance of the Imperial Garden, and kowtowed to this side anxiously, not only frowning slightly.

"What's wrong?" Lao Zhang looked at the little yellow door in front of him and asked coldly.

He didn't mean to blame, although he had told him not to disturb before, but since this little yellow door dared to call himself over, something must have happened, otherwise, he would be tired of it.

"Old Ancestor" Xiao Huangmen kowtowed on the ground again, and didn't get up, "Eight hundred miles from Shu is urgent, just sent to the palace, the rules are 。。。。。 ”

Saying this, Xiao Huangmen took out a brown paper bag sealed with fire paint from his bosom and raised his hands above his head.

"Okay, I know" Lao Zhang shook the dust, took the paper bag in his hand, turned around and walked towards Zhu Yuanzhang, "You go down first, make good arrangements for the rider, it's also a human life, run all the way, don't be tired." ”

"Yes," the little yellow door bowed and retreated.

Lao Zhang casually checked the fire paint seal of the paper bag, pinched the bag again, and felt that there should be only a few pieces of paper inside, there was no problem, so he turned around and walked towards Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty" Lao Zhang stood beside Zhu Yuanzhang and said softly.

"En?" Zhu Yuanzhang was instructing Jiang Huan to do things carefully, but he was disturbed by Lao Zhangyi, and he was suddenly a little dissatisfied.

However, after many years of companionship, Lao Zhang is still Jet Li's, and something urgent must have happened.

"Shudi eight hundred miles urgent, just delivered. "Lao Zhang doesn't dare to talk nonsense, Zhu Yuanzhang hates people who talk and do things the most.

"Shudi" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, "Or is it eight hundred miles in an emergency?"

A bad premonition swelled up in my heart.

Jiang Huan's heart was also full of 'Shudi, who is responsible for Shudi?'

The 800-mile expedited is unusual, and the general emergency information only needs to be expedited for 600 li. And once the 800-mile rush is used, it is basically the result of running a dead horse, and even the rider is in danger of dying. Generally speaking, there are only three situations where it can be used: catastrophism, alien rebellion, and riot.

Thinking of the news of the disaster in Xuzhou Mansion over there in Shudi before, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows tightened.

That's it, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, and then took the urgent delivery from Lao Zhang's hand. Even if there is a riot in Xuzhou Mansion, it shouldn't be a big deal, after all, there are elites under Lao Eleven.

Thinking so, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the fire paint was intact, so he pulled it hard, opened the paper bag, and took out a few pages of rice paper from it. When the first page was finished, Jiang Huan saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's old face was suddenly red, and it was a little purple. This is not the kind of embarrassment, but the kind that wants to kill people when you are so angry that even the eyeballs are bloodshot.

What is written in this letter? Jiang Huan was curious, and at the same time felt that something was not quite right.

Jinyiwei's sphere of influence theoretically covers the whole world, although the control of places outside the Beijing division is not as strict as that within the Beijing division, but the basic major and minor matters in various places are still well known, and they usually report in time. And unlike the complicated processes required for the local government to report to the imperial court, Jinyiwei can pass on information and be the master himself.

'Recently ... Zhang Zheng doesn't seem to have any letters from there, right?' Jiang Huan recalled carefully, as if he hadn't heard any news from Shudi. "But since there is no news from Jinyiwei, how can there suddenly pop up an eight-hundred-mile rush?"

Jiang Huan was thinking nonsense, and Zhu Yuanzhang had already finished reading a few pages.

"Hehe" Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head and chuckled twice.

"Haha"

"Hahahaha"

Zhu Yuanzhang's laughter gradually became louder.

"Huh?" Jiang Huan was a little confused, "Is this a good thing or a bad thing." ’

Lao Zhang on the side, his cheeks twitched violently, and then he knelt on the ground, his head lightly slammed on the ground, without making any sound, without speaking, and motionless.

'So... Lao Zhang made a mistake?' Jiang Huan was a little dazed.

In the end, he is a rough man from the army, and his mind is not careful enough.

"Jiang Huan," Zhu Yuanzhang's voice seemed to carry a murderous aura.

"The minister is here" Jiang Huan also knelt down.

"There is a man named Zhang Zheng among your brocade guards, you know, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked softly.

It's the calm before the storm.
